Mobility is the new norm. Faculty and students expect to connect without wires. They depend on it. The explosion of smartphones and tablets has seen to that. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, there are now about 800 million Wi-Fi-enabled devices produced every year. Students are early adopters of technology.
